About

A native North Carolinian from Lumberton, Ron Scott grew up as the son of a Pastor; observing his parents serve in the local community allowed him to experience first hand the indelible fulfillment the effect of serving can have effect on a person and the lives of many. It had a profound effect on why and how he practices law today. Subsequent to serving in the U.S. Navy he studied Theology and Law. Ron’s affinity for the law and desire to serve was the impetus for the opening of his practice in Southeastern North Carolina.Ron’s determination to protect the rights of individuals, families- the citizenry in tandem with his philosophy, “that he is here to solve client’s problems,” has led to the proliferation of his practice throughout numerous Courts in counties across North Carolina.

To be honest when I first hired Mr. Scott it was because he was a prior JAG in the Navy and when my separation and divorce started I was still Active Duty Navy. Mr. Scott helped me professionally navigate the beginning stages of this process that started off in two states with two houses, three children (including custody), multiple 401Ks, TSP, retirement pension in the mix. Through our meetings we successfully managed all the aspects of my case. I ended up with the custody I wanted, retained 100% of my pension and TSP. Every case is different, so please understand that. He always answered my questions and got back to me when he could with answers. Additionally, Kim, Holli, and HoYoung, his office staff of paralegals and assistants are nothing short of phenomenal. Thank you Mr. Scott, Kim, Holli, and HoYoung for all your help, assistance, understanding while helping me navigate this chapter in my life.

I hired Mr. Scott for my divorce and I am very pleased with the outcome. Throughout the entire legal process I felt protected, and that's what I needed the most while going through a divorce as a young woman. I would recommend Mr. Scott to anyone in need of legal services, and especially to anyone who is nervous or scared about starting a legal process. He made sure I understood everything that was going on, and I walked away with everything I needed. I greatly appreciate how he handled my case.

I was in need of representation for a divorce in the county I lived in , thankfully Mr Scott is licensed to practice in several counties. After my consultation I had no hesitation at all in hiring this firm. His office staff was very attentive and always responded to any questions and or concerns I had. When it came to the mediation to settle all financial concerns Mr Scott was adamant in making sure I got what I deserved out of a 20 plus year marriage and he also informed me of extra measures to take to protect myself in the future financially. The day after the long mediation Mr Scott personally called me to see how I was feeling about the events from the day before and also let me know if I have any questions or concerns to feel free to contact him. He not only got exactly what I was wanting out of the divorce but more ! He truly looks out for your best interest and leaves you content knowing his door is still open for you if need be. As a woman that was a stay at home mom while my spouse worked it was terrifying to think what am I going to do financially now , Mr Scott made me feel at ease throughout the entire process and after. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely hire Mr Scott for my legal issues and you should too! YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED !!!!

I retained Mr Scott for Termination of Parental Rights, I was seeking to terminate the parental rights of my daughters biological mother so that my wife could legally adopt her. At the initial meeting with Mr Scott, he very clearly and confidently explained to me the process we would have to go through, as well as what we would have to prove to the court. After talking for about 2 hours I decided to hire Mr Scott to pursue this action. Mr Scott and his office were very fast and efficient to begin the process, within a couple of days the initial paperwork was filed. At trial Mr Scott was very organized and very thorough. He presented the facts, exhibits, and arguments in a very clear, concise, and confident manner. The Guardian Ad Litem involved, Mr Brownback, was also very thorough, and presented his findings in a very clear and concise manner, and clearly had the best interests and welfare of my daughter in mind. At the end of the day Mr Scott delivered, and did exactly what he set out to do and won the case. Throughout the whole process Mr Scott and his office were always very quick to respond anytime I had questions or concerns and always kept me aware of what they were doing and what the next step was. Overall I am very happy and impressed with Mr Scott and everyone in his office.

I am very satisfied with Mr. Scott’s services. He was attentive to what I was asking for & was sure to address my concerns. All of his staff was nice & professional. They made sure to contact me in regards to important matters promptly as well as relay messages to Mr. Scott when he was out of the office. I am still utilizing his services on other matters, but he delivered everything I asked for during my child custody case.

Mr. Scott represented me through the initial stages of my separation/ divorce process (and continues to do so). I felt completely overwhelmed and he and his staff immediately set me at ease, never pressured me, and they completely understand the various dynamics involved in such a challenging time. Confidence and sound advice along with results are what he and his team have produced. I recommend Ron Scott to anyone seeking counsel for divorce matters. Best lawyer in the area!

Mr. Scott helped me with my divorce and child support. He was able to guide me through the whole experience from start to finish and advocate for me when things got tough. The whole situation could have been really bad, but with his support, I was able to do what was best for my kids. Mr. Scott is very knowledgeable with military law and all the regulations and situations that go with it, which was a great benefit to my experience.

I hired Mr. Scott to represent me in a custody case with my ex-husband. There were several concerning issue regarding my children's safety when they were around their father. Their father is known to be a smooth talker and can usually con his way out of anything. Not in this case. Mr. Scott was amazing in the court room! He was able to get my ex to admit to multiple things that worked in my favor that he probably would not of admitted to otherwise. He was able expose his lies and show his true character. I was awarded full custody of my 7 and 4 year old with only supervised visitation (he also obtained an emergency order that kept the kids under my supervision while this whole process took place). I was very nervous about filing for custody because of my ex-husbands character and that he likes to boast about all the "people" he knows in the community, including people in the legal system. Mr. Scott put my worries at ease and helped me ensure the safety of my children. He is a very smart and compassionate attorney that knows his way around the justice system and the courtroom. You can tell that he cares about his clients and is not just in this for the money. He also helped me with filing for divorce (there was nothing to contest there, so it was a simple case) and with a speeding ticket. He took care of those two matters seamlessly. I would 100% hire him again and again for any legal matter. A+++++++

Ron Scott helped me obtain rights to my son. Prior to retaining him my ex wife would not let me see my son. Because of Ron Scott I now have a relationship with my son. I owe everything to Ron Scott for helping me. His staff was incredible and always answer my questions and if could not I could speak with Ron scott when I needed. I highly recommend Ron Scott.
